Family Ball

The AzLAF community had their first annual Family Ball on Saturday night! It was a HUGE success! I was on the committee and have to admit to a certain amount of reluctance... being that Rob & I don't dance. But I kept myself busy taking pictures. It makes for a good excuse not to embarrass myself on the dance floor, but also a great way to meet everyone! I can live with that. We went on blind faith in putting this ball together not knowing what kind of response we would have or if we would be able to cover our costs. Appropriately enough, the name of the band we hired was "Blind Faith Jubilee". Fitting wouldn't you say? They were great!

Although the dance was semi-formal, Rob and Kristi couldn't resist sporting their Savers' finds - a tux and gown, so they were a bit overdressed. No matter! Can you believe we found Kristi's gown the day before for only $7! Doesn't get better than that!

Friend or Foe?

If you can answer that question...

then you're either one or the other.

Electrifying Celebration!

Celebrating Grandma's Birthday - 84 years young!

Well, the scariest news of the week is that Rob was almost electrocuted! Scared him pretty good, too. He was doing a job for Breinholt taking down a power pole. They were told the wires were dead and had been shut off. Well…. obviously not! Rob went to cut the wires with his sawzall and WHAM! It arcked and knocked him to the ground giving him a flash burn across his face and eyes. Nothing serious; more like a light sunburn. His eyes hurt for several hours, like sand in them, but by night they were fine. It also melted the saw blade. So that was a close call! Now he has the nickname of “Flash” with all the crews. So on Friday, when he went into the office to pick up his paycheck, he wore a partially melted old pair of work goggles, then painted an old shovel handle white with a red tip (to look like a blind person’s cane), tied the melted saw blade around his neck, then walked along tapping with his improvised cane. He gave them a pretty good laugh. Silly Rob. But I definitely said a big THANK you in my prayers that night!
